Jim Carrey May Join Kick-Ass 2

Batman Forever and The Mask's Jim Carrey is reportedly being courted for another comic book movie.

Deadline reports that Carrey is being wooed to play a key supporting role in director Jeff Wadlow's Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall. "The character is called The Colonel, and he helps galvanize the team of misfit super heroes assembled to fight evil," according to the site.

"The Colonel" could very well be Colonel Stars, who in the Kick-Ass comics is Sal Bertolinni, a former mob soldier-turned-born again Christian superhero who forms the Justice Forever team before running afoul of Red Mist.

Kick-Ass 2 begins filming soon with original cast members Aaron Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Nicolas Cage all set to return.
